I don't particularly like any of these tracks!
I don't even want to end up voting for my least favourite Blur song of that era simply because there's nothing less dreadful that I can spot.
Oh wait, I missed The Grid - Swamp Thing in my first read. Phew, I'll vote for that, then.

At least three absolute classics (Gloworm, Kylie and Corona) but it has to be Carry Me Home.

Swamp Thing is the banjo one, yeah? That was pretty good. I liked the Prodigy one at the time. For me it's a toss up between Dawn Penn and Manchester United.

(In the summer of 94 I would probably have chosen Parklife, but I'd be happy never to hear that song again now)

loses marks for not being an hour long but
It's a good choice, I hadn't registered what that was when I skimmed the list. Voted Progidy instead.

Progidy wtf?
i say it like that all the time now

xpost: I re-played DJ Miko this afternoon. My love of Eurobosh covers is second to nobody's, but this one didn't actually hold up too well.
The Grid's "Swamp Thing" and Two Cowboys' Malcolm McLaren-sampling "Everybody Gonfi Gon" ... banjo-fied Hoedown House at its short-lived commercial peak, there. I still find charm in the latter's titular transcription error.

Miko was more plodding than i remembered it, just relistened. Still like it.
Have never enjoyed any Hoedown House, so horrible.

Hoedown House's commercial peak was Rednex surely?

Just going through some of these on youtube. I have no memory of that 2 Unlimited song at all.

The Reel 2 Real one is good (though very similar to I Like To Move It)

It'd be great if there were only votes for nate dogg

It's going to have to be Regulate really.

Got slightly excited cz I though the Gloworm track was "I Lift My Cup" but it isn't.
Great:The Prodigy - No Good (Start The Dance)Dawn Penn - You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)Grid - Swamp ThingWarren G And Nate Dogg - Regulate
Pretty good:Gloworm - Carry Me HomeYoussou N'Dour - 7 Seconds ft Neneh CherryKylie Minogue - Confide In MeCorona - The Rhythm Of The Night
Feel like I always vote for the Prodigy (and so does everyone else), and the 90s "No No No" now seems a bit pedestrian compared to the original, so it's looking like Swamp Thing, but this is a choice which needs a few more drinks to get properly into the 90s nostalgia zone.

I love the 90s No No No, the transition from the stabby intro to the skank is like slipping into a warm bath.

Also Live Forever is the one Oasis song I have any time for.

Can only really manage a top seven:
Warren G And Nate Dogg - RegulateKylie Minogue - Confide In MeOasis - Live ForeverThe Prodigy - No Good (Start The Dance)Youssou N'Dour - 7 Seconds ft Neneh CherryCorona - The Rhythm Of The NightDawn Penn - You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)
Much as I love Blur as a band, I think 'Parklife' is a terrible song.

That's one of the few videos for these songs that I could remember exactly what it was like (Regulate and the very predictable Come On You Reds video too)
― Feebs K-Tel (NickB), Sunday, 18 March 2012 20:37 (1 year ago) Permalink
Cannot believe I'm the first person to even mention this. It feels like a sort of high-point of mid-90s super-glossy drivetime pop, like Let Loose somehow managed to line everything up absolutely perfectly just this once. Also, drumstick twirling. All of the drumstick twirling.

"regulate" fells unfair in this context cuz how could anything else stand a chance? like no "lol 90s i liked that at the time" fond memory can stand up next to "regulate"

*feels
i did like that Let Loose song at the time

a lot of these aren't lol 90s for me tho - i don't really think like that anyway - they're still good tunes

This was a toughie. Regulate, 7 Seconds, Parklife, Confide In Me and Live Forever all very strong singles, and a lot of the others weren't too bad either. Very few godawful ones; maybe a lot of meh "follow-up to big hit" ones.
Reckon Regulate's going to get more than enough love here (ditto for Live Forever in the UK) so I'm putting in a vote for Parklife because I suspect it (i.e. the song) never really crossed the Atlantic and it probably does need the vote.
